Booklist - 10/01/2021 Clarice the mouse lives aboard a sailing vessel with her brother, Charles Sebastian, avoiding humans and felines. After whispers of mutiny spread below deck, mutineers set the captain and his comrades adrift in a small launch, and a panicked Clarice is separated from her brother. She ends up on the tiny boat, along with the captain’s fearsome cat, but as the situation worsens, the desperate animals come to a shaky understanding. Meanwhile, Charles Sebastian receives a crash course in survival on the larger vessel, finding an ally in a young girl. Can the separated siblings find a way to reunite? The rodents split storytelling duties, alternating between cozy details of their small vantage points on the terrifyingly vast sea and occasionally misunderstood human world. There is real peril and death on the water, but the delicate cat-mouse and mouse-girl relationships are a joy to watch unfold, and a recurring theme of the power of belief in oneself and others is a cheering antidote to the bleak circumstances. An absorbing adventure from an unexpected perspective. - Copyright 2021 Booklist.
